: Once again, you're wrong.
I'm not sure you understood what I said.
: In multiple interviews by multiple devs, New Alexandria has been described as
: 'the level with more easter eggs than any level in any Halo game, ever'.
Which is outside the context of the game.
: Some of those eggs have already been found (in-game), and it doesn't take a
: HUGE amount of imagination to believe that if there are TWO switches that
: trigger things in other parts of the map, there may be more.
There could just as well be secret switches in every level. There could be dozens. Or we could have found them all. Who knows?
: Someone in this very thread mentioned flying through the giant building and
: thinking it might be relevant to something - BEFORE the egg was mentioned.
Okay, I'll grant you that the building looks suspicious, but the switch is not in any special location. And it was Bungie who outed the nature of the egg and made the arch the obvious destination.
: There are 5 million copies of Reach out there - this WOULD have been found,
: eventually, in-game. (In fact, I'll guarantee that it still will be - by
: someone who never read the weekly update, or HBO, or any of this.)
I'm not saying the egg is impossible to find. I've said before in this thread that I'm surprised this egg took so long to find, compared to the more obscure ones that people have found already. I'm just saying that there really isn't a trail of clues to follow here. It's blind luck that you find the switch, as there is no hint to it in-game. After that, you just need to find out what you activated, and I'm sure someone, after pressing a mysterious switch, would fly all over the place trying to see what changed, and would eventually go through the arch.
